This paper examines the representation of the Queen’s grief and of the chorus’lament in the Persae of Aeschylus. Section 1 (by Paola Volpe) focuses on the Queen’s expression of grief in the dialogues with the Chorus, the Messenger and Darius, with special emphasis on the lexicon. Section 2 (by Giovanna Pace) focuses on the main functions of the chorus’lament (communication of information and expression of mourning), on its antiphonal structure and on its two different levels: the direct expression of sorrow and the description of the lament of entities and groups that are not in the scene.
